Answer:
The number of moles present in 1.204 × 10²⁴ molecules of CO is approximately 2 moles of CO
Explanation:
The number of molecules in one mole of a substance is given by the Avogadro's number, [tex]N_A[/tex] which gives the number elementary units contained in a mole of a substance
[tex]N_A[/tex] = 6.0221409 × 10²³ mol⁻¹
The given parameter for the carbon monoxide (CO) is as follows;
The number of molecules of CO present, N = 1.204 × 10²⁴
[tex]The \ number \ of \ moles \ of \ CO \ present = \dfrac{ The \ number \ of \ molecules \ of \ CO \ present }{Avogadro's \ Number}[/tex]Therefore, we have;
[tex]The \ number \ of \ moles \ of \ CO \ present = \dfrac{ 1.204 \times 10^{24} }{6.0221409 \times 10^{23}} = 1.9992889904[/tex]
The number of moles of CO present = 1.9992889904 moles ≈ 2 moles
The number of moles of CO in 1.204 × 10²⁴ molecules of CO ≈ 2 moles
